As a public body, the Town of Hampstead is subject to the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information. The Town has 20 days to respond to an access to information request; this period may be extended to 30 days in certain cases. The Act applies only to existing documents, and we are not required to create new records in response to general inquiries.
You may request access to any document held by the Town, subject to the exceptions outlined in the Act—particularly documents containing personal information. While there is no fee to submit a request, reproduction or transmission fees may apply. The person responsible for access to documents can inform you of any applicable procedures and costs, if necessary.
